i actually took this as a course in college, everyone should it will open up to religions as well. i would loved to take more, but by the second course of with the same instructor, i couldnt not focus in a morning class. luckily his class was easy enough that you could do everything as a WFH assignment.

Philosophy is genuinely a fantastic subject to study and I have no idea why school curriculums don’t reflect this

It’s unlikely you will invent anything new in it, just watch a video on some philosophy, and move on.

It gives you critical thinking skills, which are already in quite short supply…

I mean also I studied philosophy and have had no regrets. It’s awesome and fascinating and rich and appeals to the fact that you just know that the world doesn’t really make sense

I had a philosophy class on my 3rd year in HS. And I hated it, but only because it was imparted by a bitter and deeply religious old man whose lectures were basically “let me tell you why this philosopher was an idiot and a bad person” when anything challenged his views.
This was, of course, a private Catholic highschool. But, to be fair, he was the only teacher there that was like that. We even had decent sex-ed, taught by an actual doctor.

Well yeah I suspect that’s part of the reason it’s slipped out of the curriculum. Shit teachers co-opted it for religion
